3777 The value of the divine Word....

May 21, 1946: Book 48

What the Lord Himself makes known to you is truly worth the greatest attention, for not one Word emanates from His sanctified mouth which would be useless or to be disregarded. And His warnings and admonitions in the last days are of particular urgency as they are intended to save your souls from the downfall, which is certain for you without His Word, because you do not practise love. And thus, He repeatedly approaches you Himself and presents you with the great danger you are in, and anyone who pays attention to His Word will banish the danger himself; yet anyone who closes his heart and ear to His sanctified Word will not be saved for eternity, he will be heading towards certain doom. For the last judgement is near, that is, the day when the spiritual being will be set free or banished again according to its maturity, when it will be judged according to its works, which it has done or omitted of its own free will. And this day is of such incisive importance for all spiritual beings that God first creates every opportunity for them to reach high maturity in order to escape renewed banishment into solid matter. And this is why He tries to awaken people's sense of responsibility by pointing out to them through His Word the consequences of a wrongly utilised will and showing them the right path to reach their goal. His Word is the evidence of His love for the unredeemed, for through His Word He wants to help them attain freedom, and therefore it is a precious commodity which should not remain unutilised, which is extremely empowering and helps to achieve utmost spiritual success if it is faithfully received by Him. Whoever pays attention to what God speaks to him need not fear going a wrong way, for God's Word is the right signpost, it is a giver of strength, it is the direct connection from God to people, which must always be a blessing for the one who desires His Word. For he is also in intimate union with the eternal Word Himself, with the One Who is the purpose and goal of his earthly life.... The Last Judgment will separate the spirits; everything that strives towards God will seize His love and be placed into a state of supreme bliss, whereas everything that strives away from Him will fall prey to His wrath, that is, it will have to remain in furthest distance from God, in utter powerlessness for infinite times and walk through countless creations until it is once again allowed to use its free will, until it is allowed to hear His sanctified Word again and is put to the final test of will. His Word enlightens people about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life, and blessed are those who pay attention to His Word, who listen to it and give life to it through deeds of love.... For the Word Itself will draw near to them and remain with them forever....

Amen
